I wish Mclaren would run their true colours now that Mercedes are leaving.

The most BEAUTIFUL F1 car must be Gordon Murray's piece de resistance: the Brabham-BMW BT55. An unreliable POS that killed Elio de Angelis, but I have never seen a better looking open-wheel single-seater.

I am not very old, so I don't know very much from before the 90's.
Jordan 191, Ligier JS39, Ferrari 412T2, Toro Rosso STR4/Red Bull RB5 and the March/Leyton House from the end of the 80's were the most "elegant" and sleek cars, I think.
I also like the Ferrari F300/F399, Jordan 199, Sauber C24, McLaren MP4-20 and the Ferrari 248 F1.
Based on the livery, I actually think the SA05 was a good looking car as well. Oh, and of course the JPS Lotus, especially with Senna's yellow helmet.

I also like that F108, although I liked most of the BMW Saubers. I'm a sucker for white cars and their designs just looked great most of the time, even in the years of complex bodywork like the one pictured above.

It is still MUCH prettier than the following season's BMW, which looked (and handled) like a boat.

Basically any car from the mid-90s when they were 3 litres but still wide-tracked:
